Where can i order Head Bolts for a 1998 Mazda 626 2.0L?
Try your local auto parts stores. If you strike out with them, try the Dealership.
Yes, replace the head bolts with new ones.
Yes, replace the head bolts.
replace head, head gasket, and head bolts.
you are suppose to replace head bolts they stretch and head will not torque right. When you buy the new gasket, order new bolts.
No, simply check the bolt threads for an hour glass shape. If it has this THEN replace bolts
It is always a good idea to replace the head bolts with new ones and is cheap insurance.
Yes
no the head separates from block the valve cover comes off the head bolts are under that and take them out and pry head up and then replace head gasket then repeat the order put head back on and tighten bolts and be sure not to scratch the head gasket when you put the head back on
No you do not.... the valve cover only bolts to the head, and the head bolts to the block... True- these are two different jobs. When changing your valve cover gasket you may just want to ensure that your head bolts and lifters are still torqued down properly. Otherwise, DO NOT remove the head gasket if you simply want to change the valve cover gasket. when replacing the head gasket you should replace the valve cover gasket and may need to (depending on make & model) replace the egr gasket, intake mainifold gasket, and exhaust manifold gasket ...but not the other way around. If your replacing the head gasket ask your local auto shop if they carry a head gasket kit that includes everything necessary in one box...but if your just changing the valve cover gasket then just change that.
take off the head, replace gasket. reinstall head
The head gasket on a 1999 Chevy Malibu is replaced by removing the coolant, intake manifold, and retaining bolts. The cylinder head can then be removed, the gasket replaced, and everything reassembled.
you may want to tighten your head bolts, replace your head gasket. I would replace the gasket it and find out what the torqe specs are for the head
